Preparing for the Pope’s East Coast Visit

Pope Francis is beginning a weeklong tour of the East Coast, which will lead to major closures and congestion in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia. As everyone prepares, we wanted to remind you that these cities will be especially hard to navigate by car during the visit, so leave yourself extra time and take public transit whenever possible.

Since driving around city centers will be difficult, we recommend taking Lyft to a transit stop, and taking public transportation the rest of the way in.
